I sanded the drum down to 800 grit if memory serves. Then I set up a couple rollers on a strip of wood, so I could spin the drum with the side up facing me. Wiped on some stain, worked around the drum and pulled it up with the rag to lighten to stain trying to produce a fade. Knocked the grain back down, and started applying wipe on poly. Did a few coats for a buildup, sand... few coats more, sand... I think I did about 12 coats, used steel wool and then wet sanded. Gave it some time and then actually applied automotive polish cream, then buffed out and swirl marks I had. Really happy with the end result and I'm not really experienced with finishing.
A paint gun would be really nice.
